Your Replacement Hasn't Been Built Yet.

"Guess what? It’s not the job of corporations to provide jobs. The only
reason people had jobs is because companies had this 'problem' of not
being able to do their work without people. Once that goes away, so does
the concept of human employment." Article

Daniel Miessler notes that basically? Employees are a big pain in the butt and open employers up to all sorts of expense and inconvenience. The second our employers can fire us, they will.

He's not far wrong, I don't think, but I'm not following his argument that therefore everyone ought have some wage just for existing... and yet still where that wage would come from. It's true we all have this "right to life," but that doesn't mean I have the right to exist on YOUR money.

Welcome!

I'm Christine! I live near Kansas City, Missouri, and I like Polish pottery a little bit. This blog is mostly about our homeschooling adventures, family life and my assorted oddball opinions. I'd love it if you left a comment and said hello!
